Thank you all for the replies! I am still fairly new to TASing in general. I just finished my TAS of the Stairs of Doom Hack and yeah I thought about the hearts after I made the run. only problem is that on stage 12 it was hard to deal with the heart drops cause of the ass birds with fleamen that they drop. they almost always give u a big heart or the dreaded axe drop. but here is the NEW TAS of Stairs of Doom I jut finished yesterday. and with a new route! my old route TAS was 15:59 on time and with new found strats and damage boosts I got it down to 13:50.70 which is quite a bit faster! Plus I implemented more damage boosting and made sure I dropped hearts as fast as I could. with the exception of the first level due to the fact I don't pick up a sub weapon until I reach the bat at the end of the first level. but over all I am happy with how this one turned out! I plan on TASing Castlevania Fan Edition next which in place of the mummies there is a second DRAC and Cookie Monster fight in the game. which should be interesting to see how I finish that one. I also TAS'd Akumajou Dracula Extreme Easy mode in 11:47 and that game is another story. I will post both videos here shortly.
in response to posting videos in the game thread where do I do that at? you'll have to forgive me I am still new to this site and how to post on forums. but I kinda like it. it gets the word out there about my TAS videos and I like it! I think it's really neat!

this one surprised me due to the fact that in easy mode when you get hit it does not knock simon back at all. which means you can not damage boost! so for being 7 seconds off the original CV1 WR time by 7 seconds is pretty damn good. and as before this one starts u with 30 hearts and it's not easy to dump hearts very fast but the harder version should have a much better time.

that is a good point I am sure there are people who monitor this stuff pretty closely. I will have to do some research and slow down the video to see if I can see how the cores were beat so quickly. how do you sync runs tho? video software?
it seems like this one is a modded rom. notice the cores in the base stages dont even take 8 hits to be destroyed. it;s like the enemies and bosses have way less HP than the original US made Contra. I think this was done with manipulating the games values. I still think the one I did is more legit.
Here is another TAS I recently did. 1P Contra (US) in 9:47.33 with SDA timing. TAS timing I think is 9:51 still better than the SDA WR by DK28 by 2 seconds.

okay so I am new here and I only have a few weeks experience with TASing and I finished this one last week and I would like some input on it. should I post it in the NES Super C section or can I add it to a (HACKS) section? let me know what you all think. thanks.
